Thank you guys for all the great comments. Lance I don't have an exact hour but I would say around 250 hours. I started it on June 12th and finished last Thurs Dec 1st. Almost 6 months. My latest project is a steam freight train. I can post pics in progress if any one is interested.

Hello all

I am most certainly not someone who would use a scroll saw, I happened upon this thread from a search engine of 'Richard Blizzard Scania'.
My reason for visiting? During the 80s as a child, my dad made me the Scania 142e, complete with flat back trailer. He added working leaf springs, and rudimentary lights, Scania paint scheme, etc.
He then made the fork lift truck to which he added working lift gear.
He then made, from nothing more than the Scania drawings and some brochures, a scale model of a Foden single axle unit, complete with low loader trailer for the FLT.

As a child I didn't really understand the significance of what he'd made for me, and proceeded to play with these as though they were of equivalent strength to my Tonka toys. They weren't.
Subsequently they succumbed to their fair share of knocks and bangs.

I have recently recovered these from a dusty loft, with the intention of bringing them back to some form of former glory. Once I work out how to load pictures to this reply I will add some for your honest opnion.

BTW to the original poster, that's a lovely truck.
